Inside Billionaire's PRIVATE REPTILE Sanctuary!!

Today I'm at Vantara, one of the most insane animal conservation projects in the world. This place spans over 3,000 acres and is home to more than 2,000 species and over 150,000 rescued animals. Built by a billionaire with a mission rooted in conservation, this private sanctuary is dedicated entirely to rescue, rehabilitation, and giving animals a second chance, which I can promise you you're going to see all that in this series. With a massive team of veterinarians, specialists, and animal care staff working around the clock, every part of Vantara is designed with one goal in mind, and that's the well-being of these animals. The scale here is just unreal, and what stands out most is the detail. Every enclosure, every treatment, every decision is built to restore health, protect endangered species, and create a true safe haven for wildlife. Well, and today, you and I, we're actually going to be able to get a behind-the-scenes look on all of this. This right here is one of the most exclusive wildlife experiences on the entire planet, and you are riding shotgun. Oh my goodness. Hey, buddy. Just peeking over there. It is literally so big. Oh my god, you hear them? You are so cute, bro. What's up, buddy? That is a big boy. What is going on, crows? Welcome back to another episode. We're here in India at Vantara, and this place is absolutely insane. Thousands of species of animals. We'll get more into that in just a little bit. We are approaching up on an okapi. Okapi is a very delicate species of zebra, horse, slash donkey, giraffe thing. It's a very unique animal, and we're about to just start off today's video with that, but they're shy, so we've got to be quiet. As I kick the thing. Are you kidding me? I'm sorry. Look at this thing. That thing has a giraffe face, a zebra bottom. It's got zebra butt, legs, horse body, giraffe face. I mean, that is such a unique animal. The okapi's got zebra-like stripes. Their tongue can actually be 12 to 18 inches long, crazy enough. You can kind of see it while he's eating the plants. They have huge ears. Their tongue could quite literally reach around and lick their own ear. They're nicknamed the ghost of the forest, and that's because of, like we mentioned earlier, how quiet and shy they are. They eat leaves, fruits, fungi, and even clay. They are indeed classified as endangered, and you probably will never ever see those. Well, one, because they're endangered, and two, they're in the Congo, and no one goes in the Congo. My dreams are coming true. India river otter. It's not an India river otter. I'm just seeing one in India. Look at the river otter. Look at this guy, dude. He's so cute. Hi, buddy. You guys are just like Lola. I love the little feet. I like the DJI camera because I can get close to them without touching them, and they come and say hi. Hi. Boop. Look at the yawn. Boop. And this is the back of the enclosure. Again, the front. Look how gorgeous this is. Some inspiration here, folks. Look at how beautiful that is. Honestly, so cool. Look at him jump in. Oh, my gosh. That is Marvin up there. This is Macaws with monkeys. What? So, I didn't know what kind of otters these were, so we asked. These are smooth-coated river otters. We thought originally they were just like a river otter of some sort, which we were right. They are a river otter, but smooth-coated. It's a pair. It's a female and a male. Oh, my goodness. The mixed species, bro. You're right, Kyle. There's monkeys, birds. There's squirrel monkeys vibing right here. There's Macaws. There's Marvin. But you see, my aviary wouldn't be able to hold Marvin because of the wire. This is what they've got to have. I love the scarlets. The scarlet Macaws are just gorgeous, man. Gorgeous. So, between squirrel monkeys and Macaws, this thing is just littered with beautiful exotic animals, and look at how sick the enclosure is. All the rock work, all the stick work. It's just so epic, this place, man. Hi there, buddy. Oh, look at the squirrel monkeys. Hey, guys. Dude, Kyle. That was just a pit stop, bro. That's it. Yeah. There's so much more to see. We just intro'd the video and pulled off to the side of, look how many enclosures are getting built down there. I mean, this is literally just a little pit stop. We hopped off the golf cart, and we were like, let's go see what's down there. Well, that was just one little corner. It's incredible. I don't know how to explain it other than just keep on watching, keep on enjoying as I share as much as I possibly can. I love how it's just casually like four platinum arowana. Look at the lid situation. This is just a tank. Yo, look. This is just a tank off to the side. More tanks. This one's actually crazy. Come look at this. These fire eels are gigantic. You can't see them too well on camera, but... Jumbo fire eels. Oh my gosh, that loach is crazy big. Oh, it's all one tank. Oh, that's one tank. Oh, snap. Okay, it ends right here. Oh, okay. And then this is the piranhas. Of course. You got red bellies. Holy smokes, man. It just doesn't stop. This is just HQ, guys. This is literally like... Oh my gosh, there's more down there. There's more tanks. We got a little reef tank. Some saltwater action. Brings you back home. 9,000 miles away. Monster goldfish tank. This is crazy. Look at all the goldfish. Orandas. So many of them. I'm assuming a lot of these are rescues as well. Another tank right there. Another one over here. Two of them. And then another one over here. Guys, this is just in like a courtyard. Just in HQ. It's unreal. Snakehead. Oh, you're an aggressive little buddy. You're an aggressive little fella, aren't ya? Yeah, you are. Oh my goodness. That's a jumbo. Oh, that's even bigger. What's this one? That one might be even bigger. What in the... Oh, this is sick. They're like outdoors with this like... Wow. This place is crazy. This is just gigantic. That's cool. Look at those feet. Overgrown. Trimmed them up. After trimming. We're gonna see you later today. That is awesome. This was a custom built CT scanner. Just customized for animals. Like, that's insane. Yeah, that's a leopard. That is terrifying. It's so nuts. Look at this. Look at the scanner. Gosh, the behind the scenes of this place is insane. And they have videos of kinda walking some animals through. That's a lion. That's a literal lion right there. That's a bear. It's just unreal. They have the highest, most educated veterinarians in the entire globe here working on these animals. Look at this. This is where the ambulance will back up. Straight to there. They get the animal on there. It rolls right off. These doors open. And then it gets entered into this room right here, which is the operating room. It's unreal. Dude. Beautiful facility. Like, so clean. Everything's just spotless. So we're in here. And this is an actual replica of the entire site that we're on, right? So clean. This is just one of over 60 different sites that Vantara has. Is that not just the most incredible thing ever? All to help animals. Like, it is unfathomable to wrap your brain around what they're doing here. Like, it doesn't even make sense. And I honestly, I thoroughly believe this is the most incredible place on planet Earth for animals. It is 100%, as a matter of fact. You can't. No one even compares or comes close to it. What they do for animals here is incredible. Look at this. There's another. There's a sign. It's the same sign we saw down there. They have so many different things that are just explaining what they do here, where the animals are from. Look, as you can see. Comparison beyond borders. A global commitment to animal welfare. I mean, they are shipping from anywhere they rescue, all around the globe. We are honored and blessed enough to get some behind-the-scenes looks at things that no one in the world has ever seen. Like all the animals that you've seen throughout this series. But one of those things being the control room. You ever wonder how they watch everything that goes on? Well, of course, there's security. A lot of it. And inside this door right here, we're going to show you some of it. All right, come on. Look at that. Dude, that's crazy. Security's in here just poking it up. Watching all the angles, everything that's going on. And these people are in here, just in the operating center, every single day, 24-7. I can just only imagine, while you're seeing it now, what this place looks like from above. Just hundreds and hundreds of enclosures. It is incredible here. So each animal here, you can see, has its own name. It knows what it's doing, when it's doing it. There'll be times where the animal will be resting. It has the name of the animal, and it says active eating. Yeah, it's active eating. How do I identify it? AI? AI is identifying it, what it's doing, how long it's been doing it, how long it's been resting. Everything. And so, no one else is doing this in the world. That's amazing. They are watching every move. Everything. Monitoring the health of the animals is the most important thing here. And so, this AI technology is helping them tremendously because there's so many animals. How do you keep an eye on every animal 24-7? I remember seeing it, the enclosures, those QR codes. Those QR codes are backed with a full database of every animal in every enclosure, what they're eating, everything they've been doing, where they've been, vet-wise, everything. It's insane, the back end. Thousands of employees, like we said already, over 15,000 employees working around the clock to keep these animals in good condition and, of course, better than they were before. Look at him, he's dragging this little thing. Where are we going? We're going to see some bears. Some bears. All right. Ty, what do you think of this place? Dude, I don't think words explain it. It's so crazy. It doesn't make sense. It feels like we're living in a dream. It's so insane. Man, this is the Eurasian brown bear. Look at this. How you doing, man? Hi. It's great to meet you. Hi, Paul. This is Ty and Ella as well. Nice to meet you. Hi, Ella. She's excited to see the bear. Nice to meet you. This is Ayushman. He's the bear guy around here. He's got all the education behind the bear. He's the bear guy. You want to tell us a little bit about this beautiful one? We've got two bears here. One is Lockie and this is Luna. Luna. Yeah. These are Eurasian browns. Generally, the females would be smaller than the males, about 60% smaller than the males. Yeah. Easy girl. She's not really trusting towards new people. She's like, who are these people? I don't buy anything, girl. Plus, we are kind of invading her space. So, that's why she's acting out like this. So, this is like an interim paddock for them. So, what happens is when they come out of quarantine, we kind of place them here for a little while. We want to see is how the bears are reacting to the environment. Are they utilizing? Do they know their instincts or not? This is also a place where we experiment a little to understand how we can, you know, get their instincts out. And once we are confident that they are bears, like in the sense, like they are displaying bearly behavior, then they are shifted to an open mode paddock which is much more larger and open. So, this is like an experimental paddock for us where we can estimate how the bears have been, you know, raised. What do they know? What are their fears? And if they are having any medical problems, this is a very good place for us to kind of, you know, control it. And the hospital is pretty near. So, that way we can, you know, like get in. So, a lot of bears that we have received as rescues have dental problems. They are getting old. They have problems with their hind legs. And the first symptom of a bear getting old is that they cannot use their hind legs. The back. Yeah, the back legs. So, we have to make sure that the environment that they are provided, you know, like is accessible to them. They do not harm themselves. And you have to realize because they have not gone through the wear and tear of wild bears. So, we have to be very, very careful in adjusting and experimenting because sometimes these guys don't know that something can harm them. So, this is where it happens. Beautiful enclosure. Even more beautiful animal. This is such a cool experience. And that is the Eurasian brown bear right there. Gorgeous. Thank you so much for your knowledge. Appreciate your time. Thank you. Hello. Wow. I love how he just calls them right over. So, these guys are the most unbearly bears. So, they're very skittish bears. Even if the grass is a little longer, you know, they don't react that well. They think there's something inside and they would much rather escape from that area than to go and investigate. In comparison, the browns are completely different. So, browns will go and investigate. They'll try to play with the... What is this? Exactly. So, with the blacks, they're much more cautious. They don't like to, you know, start altercations. Yeah. So, they would much rather, you know, step back and... Spend their own business. Exactly. People say that these guys can kill if they want to. But they would much rather, you know, step back and not have a fight than... The black bears are the ones you find in the trash. Yeah. They're like a little... No, you'll find the browns also in the trash. Yeah. The black bears, you can kind of scare off a little bit. Browns, if they're interested in you, they will advance. Yeah. Like the one that did over there. Black fight back. Brown back down. Yeah. So, brown, you don't mess with them. Don't mess with the brown bear. On to the next spot. I mean, this is crazy, folks. Like, the stuff we're seeing right now. This is Nancy. She has a little bit of a behavioral problem. Oh, Nancy. Nancy, we'll chill in the cart for you. So, maybe what I have, you know, estimated with her is that she did not have a great upbringing. She does not trust humans that, you know, like, easily. And what happens is, like, if you walk off, if she doesn't trust you, she'll try to chase you. Oh. All right. So, this is the kind of behavior that we're trying to, you know, get her out. But because she's acted like this almost all her life, it gets difficult because these things turn into very concrete, you know, like, habits. And to get her out, to get the trust in takes a very long time. So, right now, the keepers are working with her. But you will still see some remnants of her aggressive nature, you know, like, with us also. Like, if we get too close to her, she will not like it. She'll get her head down. She will, you know, like, put her ears towards us and then give a look like this. And that is when we know that she's not really liking our presence there. All right, folks. This is the world's smallest bear. It's a sun bear. Really cool species. He's calling him a bully. Is his name? Booty. In just a moment, he's going to call him out. Booty. Get him out to us and we can actually see him. You'll see a sun bear. Look at this enclosure, though. Absolutely gorgeous. Lots of places for him to climb. Little houses. And I love these houses. I should take a picture of that because it's so, it is, it's like a little, it is like a little tree house. She's in her little tree hut. Look at those nails. Wow. They're designed to dig up, you know, like ant hills, termite mounds, to have a very excellent grip over, you know, like the logs. And why we have made her paddock like this is exactly because of that. What you see her doing? Climbing up. These guys are arboreal bears. So they need a little height to feel confident and they kind of make their nest and they sleep up because that's a very good tactic to, you know, like avoid any predator, which is down. So these guys are built to be up. So that is why the logs are like that. I want her to use her nails. I want her to feel the wood, you know, like beneath her, you know, like paws. And because of that, this is made like this one. All right, folks, we're over at the serval enclosure. This is an animal I wanted to get for a while, but I think, I think they've been replaced by the Florida bobcat. I think it'd be cool to have a native species that we could rescue. I don't know what will end up happening, but we are going to build a big cat enclosure at some point at the PC farm. This could be one of them, but look at these guys. Dude, they're like big old, I mean, I was going to say they're like big old like bangles, but they pretty much are. It's like having a big house cat. Pretty cool enclosure though. I mean, look at this. It's humongous. It is. It actually goes all the way down there and all the way down this way as well. These are far from the tiger and lion aggression stages. As you can see, there's actually workers that just walk around in there and do maintenance and feed them and stuff. So, nothing to really worry about too much over here with these guys. Look at the construction going on, like these big old enclosures. That's probably an aviary, which is just incredible. That's just like steel. It's like you're building a legit building, but what we do have right here are giant otters. These otters, look, 15, 20 year lifespan. They get gigantic. 26 to 32 kilograms, females 22 to 26. Look at that thing. Holy smokes, look at that thing. Look at that otter. Goodness. It's giant. Look at the big hands. Big old hands coming through the fence. Dude, that's monstrous. It is literally so big. Oh, my God. You hear them? It's the size of you. Is that not insane? Oh, you are gigantic. Look at the hands. Just come through the fence. Just rest them like this. And then there's another one coming. Listen to them in the water playing with each other. Dude, it looks like a seal. It looks like a seal. These two are in the water just going crazy. Hi, buddies. Oh, my goodness. Look at their face. You guys are so cute. I love otters. I think I just have this thing for them. Look at the size of their tail. That's a long tail. That tail. Look at that tail. I've literally seen videos of those giant otters jumping on jaguars and the caimans. I've literally seen videos of these things taking down caimans. You cannot swim with these guys. Most otters, it's pretty decent to swim with them. You would be in big trouble. Yeah, these are caiman eaters. Put it that way. They're eating baby crocodiles practically. Wow. What's up, buddy? Never in my life thought I'd get that close to a rhino. That is a beautiful animal. He's actually really more curious than he looks. He's pretty chill. Yeah. He's had a mud bath. He's like, yo, I just got out of the mud. I just got done chilling. You are so cute, bro. What's up, buddy? Hey. He's like, what is that, camera? Smell it. Dude, I can't believe we're this close to a rhino right now. It's so crazy. Look at how muddy he is. He's got that armor plate. He's got done mudding around. He's like a big pig. Big pig. It's a big pig. That's all it is. And you can mostly tell by the armored plating that's going down inside. Exactly. It's straight armor, where a lot of the African ones are a little bit more smooth. Yeah. This is Sukani. She came from a flood plain region in India called Assam. Assam. And it's known to just completely flood and destroy the area. And Sukani and her mate, Bishwajet, were stuck in a historic flood in Assam. So these are actually in India? Correct. Wow. Yeah. That's insane. This is a native animal to India. They would have been doomed. They would have just been stuck in the floods. Yes. Instead, now they live happily ever after together in Ventara. That's right. Wow. Yeah. This is a much larger enclosure right here. So Sukani and Bishwajet, the two that we were just talking about, actually typically live in this like 40 acre. It's gigantic. It's a natural pond. There's everything they want and need in here. Unfortunately, one of them got a natural injury from just being in here. They weren't fighting or anything like that. Just, you know, things happen and just got an injury. So they had to separate them for the time being. But eventually, they're going to end up back in here. This is awesome. This thing is gigantic. Like as far as the eye can see, there's a marshland and everything in there. This is where they usually go. But you know what's crazy is as big as these animals are here at Ventara, they all have a separate temporary enclosure, gosh forbid something was to happen. Right. It's always like one step ahead, you know? Always prepared for any situation, whether it's, you know, it needs a quarantine. There is a place for an animal to go. And it's a rhino. Keep that in mind. Like you have, oh, I've got some backup place for that. Yeah. It's crazy. Dude, he's literally vibing in the mud. Honestly, with this heat, yeah, man, I feel ya. That sounded like someone that just had Taco Bell. Really? These are pure David's deer. This is a, where is this from? From China. Yeah, exactly. From China. The pure David's deer is a semi-aquatic species native to China. And at one point, it disappeared completely from the wild. When catastrophic flooding hit their native region, wild populations were wiped out. For a moment, it looked like they were gone forever. However, at this time, 20 to 30 individuals of pure David's deer had already been sent out of China to Europe. And that tiny group became the lifeline for the entire species. By studying their genetic lines and identifying pure individuals, Ventara can build a conservation breeding program, selecting the strongest genetics to give the species its best chance at survival. We're over at the flamingos. Look at them all. These are Cuban flamingos. These are actually sick. 100,000 likes, we buy a pack of flamingos. In the aviary? Yeah. Look at the pond, actually. The pond is dope. This dang rock is all artificially made. Like, we've been seeing some of the enclosures actually get made. And essentially, it's like this rebar built and shaped, right? We're going to do it in the aviary, so you'll see it soon. And then they do this cloth, and then chicken wire over, and then stucco, pretty much. And then they paint it custom. So it makes it look like real rock, but it's artificial rock. It's the craziest thing, and they do all their ponds out of it. So throughout this entire place, Ventara, there's been these beautiful structures made out of that. And even, like, for instance, look at this. I'm pretty sure they do this the same way. Look at the wall. See the wall? It's insane. It's awesome. It's everywhere. So a lot of inspiration I'm taking from my place back home that Ventara's got here that I'm just soaking in, you know? But flamingos, cool. Dude, it's literally a mini desert. This is sick. Look at the fennec fox. Oh, look at him. These are people's favorite. I know a lot of you viewers, y'all are loving this. Fennec fox enclosure is absolutely insane. Look at this thing. These are a really, really common relocated animal, like, through the pet trade. And people that, again, don't need them as pets anymore that buy them, don't expect the work and the smell. And then they end up having to give them to somewhere. Ventara comes in clutch with a lot of those scenarios. These little guys are so cute. Run around. Probably one of the most epic enclosures, if not the most epic enclosure I've ever seen made for them. Those are artificial cactus poles that are made into cactuses. That is epic. There's actually a bunch of live planted plants right here that are actually planted in the ground, which is super cool. What an enclosure this is, huh? Look at that. Get, like, the surrounding plants and, like, rocks and all those things from the native region where the animals come from. So, you know, for fennec foxes, they brought in, like, North African, Middle Eastern plants. So they feel comfortable. All straight out of the desert. Yep, exactly. All right, fennec foxes. Something pretty cool about those is the largest ear to body ratio in the entire animal world. Isn't that nuts? Their ears are so, like, disproportionate to their body. They're just not supposed to be there. It's like if us human ears were like this. We could probably hear a lot better. What? I mean, I'm trying to film as much as I possibly can, folks. But, like, we're walking through. Look at this. A giant aviary. Massive aviary. Who knows what some of these birds are in here. Look at these. This guy's flying across. Holy smokes. That is a beautiful bird. Look at these guys. And that diet is unreal. I mean, Ty, zoom into that diet. Bang. We got some, like, chopped fruits and veggies right there. They're eating good. Back on to our Ventura golf cart. And on to the next spot. Who knows what we're going to see next. Only, uh, well, only Kyle knows. I know. Wow. All right, we're just pulled up. A lion. A gigantic male lion. Hopefully we can get this on video. The sprinklers are on right now, cooling him off. Watering the plants. Look at him back there. What up, dude? How's it going? Doing for us. Good. Good, man. Insane. We just did a lion socialization with Eshaan. Yeah, we said nobody thought. We had all the tranks out. We had all the paintballs out. We had the fire truck here. It was all good. Right, Eshaan? Yeah. Pretty successful there. No one got hurt. We need to step up our level. Yeah, I'm slipping. This is my mic. My mic is right here on top of this camera. Oh, you can't even see it. That's how good it is, yeah. That's a pretty good mic, though. From lions to koi fish. This right here is a ton of Japanese koi fish that were rescued. And, uh, now live in this beautiful pond. And they eat like maniacs. Check this out. Just wait for it. Here we go. We're starting to go nuts. Oh, they're actually being a little better than they were. Oh, there they go. Jungle fish. And now that we're done with fishes, we're back to animals. This right here is Kingdom of Leopards. It is actually the largest leopard rescue center in the entire world. And we're going to experience it all right now. Welcome. Oh my goodness. The doors actually stayed open. Didn't expect that. I'll close them. Thanks, Kyle. This is a replica of what it looks like from above. As if we're looking at it from a drone. It's just incredible. Like the detail. The attention to detail. This is where we are now. And this is the crocodiles and alligators. And then we have the reptiles over here. And then over here just a bunch of cages. Uh, bears. This whole section is bears. And then these are the big cats back here. But to have these little 3D renderings like from above. I need a little PC farm. I need a little PC farm replica. It says, welcome to Vantara Leopard. Small cat, reptile, and bear rescue rehabilitation center. Home to 412 species and subspecies. A total of 8,417 animals. And growing probably. Insane. Look at this beautiful section. You just come in here, relax. It's so gorgeous. We actually just had some lunch over there. You walk this way, straight up this. Come over to here and all around. This whole entire thing. 360 degrees. You just take a loop. It's windows. And the windows lead straight down and into enclosures. And as you can see, this is where the leopards live. But we can't see much from up here. As a matter of fact, this pathway is down there. You can see. We need to go down there to get close up and personal. At this site in particular, this is where some of the animals came from. All around the entire globe. You can see some sand cats from Africa. African leopard. Right here we have the sloth bear. Never even seen that. Maybe we'll see that today. Jaguars. There's so many different things. What is that? Jagadoony? Jagaroondy. Jagaroondy? Never seen that either. There's a ton of different animals from all over the globe that are in this exact site that we're seeing now. Alright, folks. Before we get to leopards, we're actually stopping by the Vantara Reptile Hospital. This is where they keep a lot of the crocodiles and obviously all the reptiles. So I guess we're getting into the reptiles prior to the leopards. But these right here are all temporary cages and enclosures that these smaller crocodiles and caimans go into prior to going out to their big spots. But if you just take a peek inside, look at this guy right here. We've got a dwarf crocodile. Not only a dwarf crocodile, we've got the black caiman right here. These enclosures are so cool, too. It's the perfect spot for them to get natural sunlight. Also, as you can see, there's lamps there. With a water feature back there and a basking spot, this is about as good as it gets. I need to make these at the house. These would be dope. Anyone that welds, hit me up. DM me. These would be cool. Regardless of all these cool critters, let's head inside here and see what the heck they've got going on. Look at the grand entrance of this. One thing I'd like to mention is the landscape here. Man, I've gotten a lot of inspiration. I know sometimes my ADHD gets the best of me and I kind of get distracted. But this is incredible. Look at that monstera right there. It's humongous. It's giant. Look, we've got the pharmacies, all the medications, stuff like that. You walk down here, they have these beautiful examples. I just love stuff like this. I need to take more pictures. Those are yellow things. It's just so cool to see that. No procedures, which I guess is a good thing. We keep walking down. So many different things that they've done for animals in the past that they have documented and all over the walls. There's some different quarantine rooms like right here. Like animals that are just getting rehabilitated back up to full health before they end up going out to the big enclosures. This is just so cool to see the process, the steps that are taken here. And they're all the best possible ever. The whole pharmacy room right there. Thank you very much. I think one of the coolest things about this place is the level of attention to each species. So for instance, this is meant just for reptiles. And then we have the vet that we've been to earlier that was all on the bigger mammals, the big cats, stuff like that. So there's different veterinarians, literally different buildings for every species of animal that we've seen and walked through the sights of. Something you just don't see because back home, one vet is for all exotic animals, right? So it's something you don't usually see. And it's honestly awesome to be able to witness it and share it with you. We can't go in this one. This is the croc monitor. He's going to respect them. Killer enclosure. Where you draw the boundary. Right now it's okay. His thumb is out. Eyes are not dilated. Muscles are not tense. So he's okay with me. But when he wants me out, he growls. And that tail whip. He doesn't tail whip. He just growls. He's large. Yeah, if he wanted to, he could do some damage, man. Killer enclosure is for that one, too. These are so cool. I take a lot of... I've been taking pictures. So many pictures. Like, I need to build this. Hector, can you build this? We got pudding in here. This is Komodo dragon. Super friendly Komodo dragon. You don't see that often. So you can see the back. Pudding's back. Is that from, like, diet stuff? She had a worm in her brain at one time. Oh, she had a worm in her brain. And then this MPD forms metabolic bone disease. There she is. Metabolic bone disease. Look at all these enclosures. Every single window is one of those enclosures. The whole way down. The whole way across. Run with me, Ty. Run. Come on. Get an exercise. All right. Come on. Keep going. How far are we going? I think we just keep running. We'll show them how many there are. Look. Just keep going with it. Come on. There's so many. What is that? Oh, big guy. I don't know. Big guy. Keep going. Come on. Just keep going. There's so many. I'm not even kidding. We're not going to stop until it's done. Where's his head? I don't know. You better get your workout in today. Hey, buddy. It's a Quincy monitor. Yeah, I had to stop. I caught him with the corner of my eye. I was like, oh. King Cobra. Crocodile monitor. We're in bad shape and need to hit the gym. I feel fine. Yeah? Yeah, it's just you. I don't feel so good. Here we are at the reptile house. This is sick. I thought we were seeing the reptiles they have. No. This is where they have most of them, I guess. Look at this. We just walk right in. It's just enclosure after enclosure. Oh my gosh. Ooh. An albino Nile crocodile. What the heck is going on? Look over here, too. This is so dope. Got a bunch of iguanas. This guy on the ground. Yeah, look at him. Hey, what up, dude? How you doing? Now, keep in mind, every single one of the animals that you see in all these enclosures behind me, they're all rescued. Like, all these animals needed somewhere to go, and they were put here to live such a cool life. Like, if you were an animal, you'd probably want to come here, right? Look at all the tortoises. Look at all those. A bunch of tortoises. Something really cool that's hiding over here. Hey, look. This is a tegu. And it's a giant tegu, and currently, right now, it has big old cheeks, which is totally normal. That's actually how they look. He's sleeping. That is a dope house, too. That rock with the lighting underneath. Oh, yeah. Redfoot. Yeah. I got that at home. Got something here. Got something. Take a look at this, too. We're just walking into here. Oh, my goodness. Look at these enclosures. And not only the enclosures, look at the plant life, the growth on the back of them. I think we start here, and we work our way this way, all the way around. I believe it loops around, and then we'll end up right here. Kyle, does this loop around? That's a bit. It's a bit to me, huh? Yeah. OK, cool. There's nothing in here right now, so we'll move on to the second enclosure, which, bang! Look at that snake. Oh! A yellow anaconda. Not a green, a yellow. And look at the tail on that sucker. As you can tell, they spend a lot of their time in water, so as you see, a big old water feature in there. What is in here? Next one over, look at this structure. So sick. Over here, we have another enclosure, which just has a little caiman in here. That is the smallest crocodile ever. I actually originally thought it was a caiman. It is a dwarf crocodile. It's identical to a caiman. It looks literally identical to a caiman. Look at that. It's a little half and half. You can look at it underwater, but then look at it out of the water. Sweet. Yeah, that's a piebald one. That one's got half white, half dark, so it's like literally split almost perfectly. So sick. So last year, Forrest actually was helping with an ingestion of a bunch of reptiles, and he opened up a box, and bam, that guy was in there. So it just came from a meat market or somewhere that needed rescuing. It just came on into Ventara and won an Amelia. Yep, exactly right. So these guys right here, look at this enclosure. Bam. Sick enclosure. These are the Indian rock pythons. As a matter of fact, they look almost just like a Burmese python. A lot of pythons look similar, but these are the Indian rock python. And yeah, I'm mistaking them almost as I'm walking up. I'm like, is that a Burmese? And then I take a look at the sign. And there you go, Indian rock python. So sick. They're hiding in the back right there, but this enclosure is gnarly. Look how cool this is. Sungazer lizard. Look at that. He's one back here. Look at this one back there. Look, he's climbing. See him climbing back there? He's chilling. He's getting that little heat. He's going to the heat. Bang. Egyptian spiny-tailed lizard. Egyptian spiny-tailed lizards. Looks like a large uromastyx. That is so cool. Look at them all just vibing. Look at its face. That is so dope. It looks like a dinosaur, right? Yeah, it does. It's like about as close as you can get to a dinosaur right there. Western chat's king cobra. Awesome enclosure. A lot of these king cobra enclosures will have these dead leaves right here. It's very natural for them. And then if you look around the corner, he's actually hiding up on the shelf at the very top. All the way up at the top right there. Sitting on a rock. Try to see what's in here. How long will it take you to find it? Oh, my gosh. You found it so fast. It's a green mamba. You found it so fast. I didn't expect you to see that. Is that a green mamba? Yeah. Look, there's another one right here. Another one up there on the stick. That is so dope. Oh, big old snake. Another snake right here. There's a black mamba. Oh, goodness. Oh, that one will take you down in 45 seconds. Red spitting cobra. Look at this guy. He's in the back corner right there. Tucked in. Really, really crazy cobra. I'm sure you don't want to mess with any of these. Bang. Another enclosure. Big old monitor. Oh, yeah. This is my boy Gio's favorite right here. Black dragon monitor. Look at him up there. Absolutely gorgeous. That thing is so sick. That's like a really, really rare one too. At that size? Sheesh. I could just keep walking by enclosures. Like, look at these monitors. Chilling right there. Gigantic. Go to this next one over here. Bang. Another enclosure. Frilled dragon. It's a little frilled lizard. Beautiful. Looks like a Burmese type of python. Of course, I'm wrong. It's an African rock. It's the same thing I thought the last one. Oh, he slipped over. Oh, are you going to get over? Look it. Oh, come on. Get it. He's helping his homie. Oh, he helped him. There he goes. He helped his homie. There he goes. Pancake tortoise. There he goes. He's gone. Oh my gosh. Wow, that one's gigantic. It is the entire corner of this place. There is three different reticulated pythons just basking up in here, chilling. One of them all tucked up in the corner over there. Super cool. These giant reticulated pythons at one point were power fed. If you don't know what power fed is, well, they're in an enclosure and they just power feed them so that they can reproduce as fast as possible, turning over eggs, which people sell and make money. And not only that, it could be skin. So the bigger they get, the faster, the more money, et cetera. Vantara prevented that, took them in, and now none of that happens. They live in this beautiful, gigantic, gigantic enclosure. Right here we have, oh, he's going under. Look at that. This is a spectacle caiman. I mean, it almost made me want to say albino alligator because of how similar they look. But spectacle caiman that is all albino, like completely yellow and white. There's two more enclosures towards the end, but this place all in all is gigantic. I'm literally not kidding when I mean gigantic. Just follow me. Speed ramp. Pretty crazy, huh? That was huge. All right, we are now by the alligators and crocodiles. Man, there is so many of them out here. They've actually recently rescued 2,000 native species of the Indian crocodile. The Indian crocodile, right? That one they rescued a ton of. They mentioned that earlier. I just didn't know if I was 100% correct, but I am. A ton of those species out here, and then, of course, behind us they have so many different things. I mean, these enclosures are beautiful. There's a lot of them. It is gorgeous from above looking down at all this. I mean, the drone clips I think are probably like one of my favorite things of this place. It's just seeing it in its perspective from above is, yes, it's so vast. You just need to see it from above to understand how big it really is. Hey, buddy. Just peeking over the edge. Oh, gosh. Oh, snap. Dude, you ain't quick enough. Now, they actually have this dip if you look down. There's this dip in the ledge so that they couldn't climb themselves out. Obviously, with this many alligators and crocodiles, if they could get out, they would. These guys are just chilling. He just came to show off for a second. Look at this guy. And he lays down. That is so cool. Oh, another one's coming. I think they think it's feeding time or something. They're like, what are you guys doing over here? Why is this guy acting up? Oh, he's in there. You calling him over? Yep. Here we go. It's time to feed some American alligators. We're going to at least watch it. It's going to be sick. Come on, buddies. Look at them. They're like highly trained. These guys are just ready to go. I think alligators are the coolest things ever. Just nothing like it, man. Look at the American alligator. Some of them have like no toes and stuff. They're all rescued. So it's really cool to see them just be able to come on up here and eat some good old meats. Look at them go. I love how he's got gators like literally surrounding him. Look at this right now. They're just surrounding him in all different angles. But he's cool as a cucumber, too. He's cool as a cucumber. So what he's doing is literally tapping his nose. The gator will learn to open up its mouth. And as it opens up its mouth, a little chunk of steak goes right in there. Nice little filet mignon for dinner. You know? Dude, look at them all. A bunch of little puppies just waiting on it. Do a flip! Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. How many are in here? 13. 13 alligators in this one pond. And it's a gigantic pond. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. I almost forgot to count for a moment there. There's 8 gators right in front of us. They're that mesmerized. Yeah. So there's another one over here. There's like two more down there that just don't even care to come over. They probably ate already. He's just giving us the experience. Look at him climbing up on the rock. Here we go. Dude, think about like having gators like this that you just know their body language. Like you know everything about these gators. I'm sure he spends so much time here that he's comfortable walking in there and doing what he has to do to feed them. That is a big boy. That's a big boy. That's a giant. How big is that one? 12 feet. That's a jumbo gator. I mean, bro, that thing is gigantic. He's using the power of his tail to kind of get them up out of the water. Look at this enclosure. We're just casually driving by. A gigantic bear enclosure. I mean, it's gigantic. And then you look over here, there's another one. And even more down here. And Kyle's whipping backwards the whole time, dude. He's actually mobbing right now. But no, this is just crazy, guys. I feel like I'm showing you as much as I can. Clouded leopards. But like there's just simply so much to show you that it would be hours and hours and hours long. Some of you are telling me right now, I would watch it all. I wish I could film it all. We don't have enough time in the day to see it all. As a matter of fact, here, this trip, I have been here for two full days. And tomorrow morning is one of our last days. And we will probably see about 0.1% of this place. We've saw seven full sites so far. And there is over 60 and still some more in construction. So put it that way. We've seen seven. We didn't even look through all seven. We just went through most of the sevens. And there's over 60. Mind-blowing. I know. So this right here is Kyle's actual favorite enclosure at Ventara. It is an Indian gorilla. Look at that. Dang crocodile. Species of crocodile. And it's got this long snout. They're fish eaters? They're like attacking like this. They go side to side exactly right. That's a big one coming through right here. Look how cool those are. And this enclosure is even cooler. Look in the back. That nice waterfall. Hi, beautiful. Oh, you literally want to be pet. You're so gorgeous. Look at those big old paws. Wow, what a way to start the leopard side of things. We've been looking at all the reptiles and stuff recently. But we're officially now at the cats. Dusk time is coming. It is currently 525 p.m. And that's when the cats start coming out in the cooler weather. In the daytime, when it's hot, they stay in here. They can actually leave if they want. But this is an AC section. And they want to be in the cool AC. From there, this opens up. And then look at these giant cat tunnels that stretch across. And lead to their actual big enclosures outside. So, they have the option. He's chilling in the AC right now. Look at him. Absolutely gorgeous. I don't blame him. I know, I'd be in there too. Let's go see some more cats. I'll show you. Oh, that just ran away. But to give you an idea, this is the outside part that those tunnels lead to. Right to these gigantic enclosures. These leopards get to stay in. If you look under here, look. They don't really make themselves obvious. That's why they're such good approach animals. They're very, very good at sneaking up on their prey. Taking them out. There's one right there. There's actually one farther in the back. Such a beautiful animal. Oh, guys. I am sniping right now. Pull up a little, Kyle. Oh, he's going into the back. There he is. He smelt you from a mile away. He smelt me from a mile away, yeah. I got a little bit of that black leopard right there. We're going to pop back and go the other way. This long lens just came in clutch on this trip. Getting really good footage for you guys to see these animals. Because a lot of the time, again, these enclosures are not built for humans to tour. It's not a zoo, you know. Oftentimes, there's plants in front of the enclosures. The fences hide a lot of it. It's very comforting for the animal, so the long lens is key to have so that you can get back into these enclosures and get good shots. Look at this guy right here. Speaking of long lens, he's chilling right there. This one's sitting literally right here in front of us. Beautiful, beautiful leopard. The colors, man. We're literally just driving. Look at another one right there. We're just driving past them all. They're all eating right now. Look at this one. Oh, my goodness. I don't know if you can see them in there, but these leopards are all just tearing food up right now. We've just approached another leopard right here. There's over 250 leopards on this site right here. So, a ton of leopards that have been rescued over the years. And this is another big, big one over here. Take a look at this. Look at these enclosures. We can say that all day. I know. Can I just stop saying that? I'll say it. Oh, hey, bud. You're an old man. He's missing some teeth. The canines are missing. But that's the thing. All these animals give you a second chance at life. That thing would probably very, very rare. It probably wouldn't survive in the wild too well without the teeth. That's a male. This beautiful male. We're on almost like a bridge now. And on both sides, this side and the right side, there's open enclosures that are wide open with bears. We're at the Kingdom of Bears, and we're about to see some really, really cool stuff. Which one are we feeding first? Sloth bear. Sloth bear cognitive enrichment. Cognitive enrichment for a sloth bear. That's what the game plan is right now. Bet you never heard that sentence before. Nope. So this right here is the sloth bear. It's about to get actually released. It just did. That's the sound of it right there. And there's a little cube. This little cube made out of a hose rope. It's like a thick rope. There's food inside of it, and it's going to essentially have a puzzle to unsolve. Yeah, it just helps with general cognitive stimulation. Instead of just being fed, hand-fed, or in a bowl or whatever, just a little bit extra general stimulation. That is so sick to watch. He's actually trying to get it off the box. What's in that? Fruits. He wants dates. Dates, fruits. He just doesn't want the apples. He wants what's inside. So these sloth bears are particularly voracious, so much so they live where tigers live. So typically, when you run into a tiger, there's tons of videos online of tigers and sloth bears going at it, and oftentimes the sloth bear will come out on top. Came down here for a thumbnail. Look at this place. It's gorgeous. This is an empty enclosure. Nothing's in it. But it kind of gives you the perspective of the wall and everything. Take a look around. Look at that. It's where the animal will come out, if there was anything. This is another section where it would essentially just be a little holding spot. It's enclosures after. Enclosures all for bears. The whole way across. And literally all throughout this entire place up here. We're on a whole different level. All different enclosures. Each of these sections of enclosures took roughly a year each to finish and complete. There's even a little hut up there that's like a big circle, and each side of the circle has enclosures off. You can see lots of different little enrichments hanging from the trees for the bears. But these enclosures are just absolutely insane. Deep moat beyond handrail. Do not be dumb. Look at them. Yeah, look at them. Look at them sniff the things. Things hanging from the trees. That one's albino looking. Oh, he's jumping. What's happening? What is that, dude? You got a clean pond, too. This one just went right for the treats. I mean, he had no time wasted. He's ripping all the apples out of it. He's having a blast. This is pretty cool. Take a look at this. These are fishing cats. We're actually going to see them in just a second. These panels and then the half water, half out of water is so, so cool to have with the enclosure, especially with the cat that literally feeds on live fish. This whole entire thing, all enclosures. I mean, we are just driving by jaguars right now. Left and right. Jags, leopards, you name it. Look at this. Enclosures. One after another. 250 different jaguar and leopard big cat enclosures the whole way down. We're now at one of the final destinations, and that is the paddock. This is the giant cat paddock. Out here is one acre of land that these animals just get to roam free on, but it's a little bit different. I'm going to have Chandrika explain why the animals go out separately into this paddock, so a bunch of the enclosures are connected to it and then some go at a time, but here you go. So actually, the groups which we have here, they are very big. They are young. We have a group of five, six, seven, which is very rare for leopards to get socialized together. So to provide them an abandoned area, we have this full one acre land, like a full one acre paddock, specifically for them. So all the groups which are released here, they are bigger groups. They can't be accommodated in the small area, so they need big space. So we have big paddocks. So all of these groups, they go in rotation-wise. So little by little, they each come in, they rotate out. Two go in, two come out. Two come in, two come out. They switch off and get to experience that acre. And then outside of the acre, in the enclosures, they're also giant. The enclosures are a normal size enclosure. So it's just like extra acre that they each get to experience every once in a while. How many days? They switch off like every couple days? That's what they said, yeah. Yeah, every couple days. A good way to put it is that this is like the playground on the school playground. It's school playground. They have their own enclosures that are normal, but then they just come in here for a little extra... They socialize and they get to know each other. That's sick. I don't think anyone else is doing that. No one's doing that. That's crazy. And there's one just chilling right here on the top right now. These are one of the two that are just getting to experience that paddock right now. And to end it off with one more big cat, this right here is the puma. Very similar to the Florida panther, our panther back home. Look at this beautiful girl. And she walks away from us. Aw, dude. She'll come back, don't worry. She'll come back. Hi, girl. Oh, you are pretty. You are so pretty. Hi, beautiful. Wow. Hopefully you guys enjoyed today's video. I love how I'm just talking. There's a puma just walking past me in the back. They have a whole bench right here just to relax and enjoy it. Most incredible place I've ever visited in my entire life. And this is one of many episodes so far.
